		Known as 'il Moro', either because he was dark or because his second name was Mauro, he had a humanist education and made some attempts himself at writing (he composcd lives of illustrious men, including his own father).
		Lodovico's foreign policy just before Charles VIII's invasion was dominated by hostility to Naples and the influence there of Giangalcazzo's wife; in 1493 he overturned traditional Sforza diplomacy by allying with Venice and the Pope against Naples and Florence, and encouraged Charles VIII's expedition in spite of the Orléanist claim to Milan.
		Lodovico's pleasure in the distractions of music, verbal wit and visually exciting theatrical effects probably most account for the favour he showed Leonardo da Vinci; they also had scientific interests in common.

		Lodovico il Moro, the Aragonese kings of Naples, and Sixtus IV--to say nothing of the smaller powers--kept Italy in a constant perilous agitation.

	The Ermine
		Upon moving to Milan, Leonardo was employed by Lodovico Sforza (or Lodovico il Moro) and quickly commissioned to paint Lodovico's mistress, Cecilia Gallerani.
		Because of this, Lodovico, in order to express his love for Cecilia, would use the ermine as his badge or emblem (Douglas, 79).
		However, given the age of Cecilia, and the irony of her name and Lodovico's badge, it is almost undisputable that this is, in fact, an ermine in the portrait.

		Lodovico Sforza, called 'il Moro,' the Moor, is the most perfect type of the despot of that age, and, as a kind of natural product, almost disarms our moral judgement.
		It was wholly in the spirit of this system that the sovereign imposed his own respect for useful servants on the court and on the people.
		When in 1469 Borso's privy councillor Lodovico Casella died, no court of law or place of business in the city, and no lecture-room at the University, was allowed to be open: all had to follow the body to San Domenico, since the duke intended to be present.
